For a newbie? Don't sweat it. Subscribe to stuff, post, comment, enjoy.
Once you get your feet wet and understand a bit more about what's going on around you, then you can start asking more serious questions like:
Who are my admins? Are they doing a good job?
What are the rulesets like on other instances? Do I like them better?
Do I like my local communities? Local communities are the lifeblood of a larger instance
These are questions for later though. Have fun :)
I think the important thing is that people know these questions should be asked eventually, but I agree it can be later.
Too many people are giving the advise "it doesn't matter" but for all the reasons you mentioned I think it does matter a lot. You should consider your first account a throw-away while you start to understand Lemmy and what a home instance means to you, then be ready to ditch it and start fresh (until account porting is implemented).
